2001 Subaru Forester S Limited Edition
Hey All!
I'm going to look at this car and I really have limited car knowledge. I have a friend coming who knows more than me but I would love a little advice regarding things I should look for and what questions to ask to ensure that I dont get screwed.
This is the info from the add! Any advice would be super great!
Summary of Specifications/features:
2.5L engine ~8-9L/100k on the highway, ~10 in the city depending on how you drive. That works out to a bit more than 600k on a single tank of gas on average.
Subaru fulltime -symmetrical AWD
S ltd edition - full leather interior, cassette player and 5 cd changer, power windows, sunroof, heated seats, mirror and window defroster, block heater, limited slip rear differential, 4 speed automatic transmission, roof rack and trailer hitch (1.25 inch). Comes with a full sized spare tire and a set of winter tires on rims (winter tires are getting low ~30%)
New (>90% tread) Bridgestone Ecopia all season tires currently mounted to the vehicle on alloy rims (still have rubber hairs on them and over ¼ inch of tread)
Maintenance:
Brakes just replaced using Brembo pads. Bled fluid too.
All fluids (engine oil & coolant, transmission fluid, brakes fluid, differentials) recently changed (within 5000 kms).
Timing belt/head gaskets replaced/redone at 14xxxx km (see sticker in engine bay for exact kms)
Wiper blades are good.
I have service records from the previous owner and my own as well as the carproof from when i bought the car should you like to look at them.
Condition:
Body is in good shape, there are a few minor dents and scratches, most notably the hood has one scratch and a few hail dents. The windshield and glass on the vehicle is good - no cracks. Interior is clean and quite unworn. Overhead clock works, unlike many cars of this vintage.
Rational for selling:
I’m selling this vehicle for two main reasons:
1) I bought this car to drive while fixing my daily driver. As my daily driver is roadworthy again I no longer need the second car.
2) I prefer to drive manual transmission vehicles.
Asking price is currently $4500, however price is negotiable. Let me know if you are interested and we can organize a test drive.
Thanks yo!
